Great show and a great group of musicians. Great to see the costumes and learn more about Elton. Definitely will do it again next year if they come back!
So fun. So much talent! We loved every minute! The Genessee Theater is very beautiful and the staff was extremely helpful.
Disappointing The venue was good but disappointed with the show. Felt his vocals were weak, lighting was poor and could not hear background singers at all. Expected a better performance
The piano playing was great. The band was incredible. The Elton John impersonator was disappointing. The vocals in my option were forced and distracting. Rocket Man fizzled for me. The venue was excellent. The crowd in our area was unruly and discourteous to fellow patrons. Video recording, flash photograph and live streaming the show by many and loud conversations ruined the enjoyment for others. We left at intermission.
Production OK, Piano skills OK but unfortunately did not meet in terms of voice any close of Sir Elton John
Elton ( Russ Anderson) is perhaps the best musician I have ever seen live! I have never had the opportunity to see Elton John in person, but if he was better than Russ Anderson at playing piano, then I am so sorry I missed any one of his great concerts! The supporting 'Rocket Man' band was incredible as well. The total 'show' was all we talked about the rest of the night . If this concert is within a 100 miles of where you live go see it. You will not be sorry, but you will be amazed! The only complaint we have is the seating at the venue, the M Casino , Vegas. The chairs are incredibly small and uncomfortable plastic folding chairs . C'mon M Casino, you can do much better than that. Six dollar plastic folding chairs from Costco is an insult to your attendees paying good money !!
Very fun high energy production show. And a great piano player. Wish there were a few more songs :-) The venue for the show was not raked so not ideal when people are holding up cameras blocking the view :-(
Obviously, he is not the real Elton but he works very hard, does a great job with his costumes and can really play the piano. To compensate for not being spot on with the voice the music is louder to try to hide the discrepancy. Not overly pricey, you do not need to sit really close and all in all a very enjoyable evening. This coming from a couple of real Elton John fans. Love the music.
The concert started pretty slow - my partner fell asleep which was difficult because of the screaming guitars. I did not recognize the songs either - heavy metal type music. I could see the crowd around me felt the same way. The second half was much much much better. Sadly some of our neighbor audience left at intermission. The second half was wonderful and we left on a high note. He doesnt sound like Elton, but he is an amazing entertainer with awesome piano skills. If the first half was as good as the second half I would recommend it to everyone. That's my honest review. He really is amazing just fix the first half. We both felt like that and obviously many in the audience did too.
The band was excellent. He played many of the greatest hits. The only thing that I did not care for was the volume. My ears rang until the next day and I took my hearing aids out since I did not need them. I would have given them five stars except for this fact.
Close your eyes and you will think it's Elton. Open them up and he is Elton's double. From the wardrobe down to the piano playing and the story behind his success as a tribute band.
This show was so much fun. Just like Elton John in the 70's. Would recommend to anyone a must see show.
Very disappointed in the Elton John tribute at the M Resort. The band was so loud you couldn't here the singing. Which, was okay, because when we did hear him, he wasn't that great. We left after 1/2 hour.
Great show, may even be a better piano player than Elton. Very entertaing, played every song I love.
Rocket man show is full of energy, great costumes, songs and banter. The Pavilion at M Casino is so so. Chairs were so packed together it was uncomfortable for most. The sound system and acoustics did not do justice to the piano playing or his voice.
Sooooo much fun!! Oh my goodness! Everyone was jamming in their seats until finally someone stood up and danced - then everyone was dancing!! Haven't had this much fun since Taylor Swift's Era Tour!
Not from our Era, but a GREAT ENTERTAINER. Throughly enjoyed the show ❤️
the show was awesome and the theater has great seating! i loved the show!so much fun and he interacts with the audience.If you like Elton then this is the show for you!
What a great time!! The music is fantastic.. love costumes and watching him walk in the official boots!!! One of the best shows I have seen in a while!!
Loved how Rus engaged the audience. Quite the entertainer and you will be able to 'crocodile rock' through the experience to make 'Saturday's night alright' (even though I saw it on a Friday night, I am still singing and dancing to the beat.) The band was great. Excellent value and a great night out! I would go again, so come on down to Canada and let the Maple Leafers experience this great show!
